Is History Repeating Itself?

“In 1968, the time for uproar on “The Civil” movement was on the rise. Music was the key to help activist inspired their actions. Unity and Peace was the key words to help the cause. Now its 2016 and we are doing this again. Violence is not the answer. Killing is not the answer. Nothing will be resolve being negative. Learn from the past. All can be accomplished peacefully.”

Revolution by The Beatles – From the album “The White Album” 1968

Written by John Lennon – Credited to Lennon-McCarney

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

Artist: Nina Simone Written by: Nina Simone, Nina/Irvine, Weldon

Album: To Love Somebody (1969)

And now we got a Revolution
Cause i see the face of things to come
Yeah, your Constitution
Well, my friend, its gonna have to bend
Im here to tell you about destruction
Of all the evil that will have to end.

Some folks are gonna get the notion
I know theyll say im preachin hate
but if i have to swim the ocean
well i would just to communicate
its not as simple as talkin jive
the daily struggle just to stay alive

Singin about a Revolution
because were talkin about a change
its more than just evolution
well you know you got to clean your brain
the only way that we can stand in fact
is when you get your foot off our back
